WELCOME

We invite you to worship with us at the Church of the Covenant. For over one hundred years, we have sought to be a welcoming spiritual home, live God's inclusive love, express Christ's compassion, and do justice in the world. As a diverse community, we find unity in our shared identify as Jesus' disciples and in our desire to put God's love into action within and beyond these walls. Whether you are a student, in the area with a patient in the hospital, visiting from out of town, looking for a church home, or a decades-long member, may you experience the wonder of God's presence as we worship together!

About Covenant

We invite you to experience God through the life of the Covenant community.

Who we are

The Church of the Covenant is a Presbyterian Church (USA) congregation in the vibrant cultural center of University Circle in Cleveland, Ohio. We are a multi-cultural, multi-racial, and intergenerational community seeking to know Jesus and make him known through meaningful worship, inspiring music, compassionate outreach, and in-depth theological study that leads us to engage our community and our world that God so loves.

Covenant is both a destination church and a neighborhood church, with students, residents, visitors, and members who walk to church as well as those who drive from the suburbs and beyond. We maintain an inspiring Gothic building in the heart of University Circle – a dynamic urban center of world-class education, health care, music, art and history. From this place, we are seeking to love and support our neighbors; encounter God through study, prayer, and worship; encourage questioning; and nurture all God’s people.

“It seems to me that in joining a church you leave home and home town to join a larger world. The whole world is your new neighborhood and all who dwell therein – black, white, yellow, red, stuffed and starving, smart and stupid, mighty and lowly, criminal and self-respecting, American or Russian – all become your sisters and brothers in the new family formed in Jesus. By joining a church you declare your individuality in the most radical way in order to affirm community on the widest possible scale.”
~ Credo, William Sloane Coffin, p. 143

At Church of the Covenant, we welcome all people to make a commitment to this family of faith through membership. What are the benefits? In our democratic form of church governance, members have a voice in decisions that are made by the congregation and can serve in leadership roles. But more importantly, membership is a way of making a commitment to the people in this particular time and place who have chosen to travel together on this journey of faith, serving God together and sharing both joy and sorrow.

We hold new member classes several times a year, and encourage those interested in exploring membership to speak with one or both of our pastors, Amy Starr Redwine or Melanie Marsh Baum.
